iTerm does not foreground when running specs #96

Closed toothrot closed 9 years ago

toothrot commented 9 years ago

Environment: iTerm2 Build 2.1.1 MacVim 7.4 (75) OS X 10.10.3 let g:rspec_runner = "os_x_iterm"

When activating iTerm2 for running specs, the command is populated and executed in iTerm, but the window only flashes active into the foreground before being backgrounded again. Is that a limitation of AppleScript?

This is the desired behavior. The assumption is that the terminal is visible at the same time as MacVim -- therefore running tests does not interrupt the vim flow.

@gylaz I forgot to say thanks for making such a great plugin!

Is there a way to make that configurable?

Unfortunately, no. No current plans to support that.

Cool! I'll just maintain a fork. If you ever change your mind, here's a helpful commit. I need this for my tiny, tiny monitor where I can't keep two windows open.
